In a letter, the two co-chairs of a House committee probing Hall asked Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg and Travis County Attorney David Escamilla to look over the report to see if any laws were broken.

"The report notes that Regent Hall's conduct with respect to protected student information is serious enough to implicate two possible offenses in the Penal Code," said the letter sent to Travis County prosecutors Friday. "In addition, Regent Hall's conduct may constitute a criminal offense under the Texas Public Information Act. Accordingly, we are referring this information of possible criminal violations to the Travis County Attorney's Office and the Travis County District Attorney's Office."

The 176-page document was prepared by Rusty Hardin, a Houston lawyer hired as special counsel to the House Select Committee on State Agency Operations. The report's findings marked the culmination of a months-long probe by Hardin into Hall's actions.

It alleges that Hall leaked confidential student information, in apparent violation of state and federal law, in an attempt to silence his critics in the Texas Legislature. It also accuses the regent of trying to manipulate the investigation and coerce witnesses and alleges Hall attempted to coerce UT administrators, including UT President Bill Powers, to alter their testimony to the committee.

The House committee has been looking into whether Hall abused his power as regent to try to force out Powers.

The committee has yet to publicly speak about the report prepared by Hardin or take a vote on whether to endorse its findings and send the issue of impeachment to the full House. The committee is considering April 23 and 24 as dates to meet to talk about the report, according to the letter.
